I had to make myself ship this...

I participate in a few Swap-Bot fun exchanges each month. It is so much fun to send goodies and to get surprises. I mailed out this mini-quilt...a nine-patch last week. As I started finishing it up I tried to figure out how I could swap it with something else. The colors just worked so well. 

I hope my partner enjoys the pretty blend. Take a look...tell me what you think.

Fall is in the Air!

I know it's a little early , but  If you live in the Deep South (Alabama), you know that temperatures stay in the 90's-100 through October and later. Yesterday we actually had a cool front move in, we got down to 70's and 80's. I could not resist finishing up a Halloween Mug Rug. 

Bat's, Spider's, Dot's, spider web's  and Candy Corn. 

I just love Halloween Color's they are so pretty. 

Halloween in such a fun Holiday...I work as a  nurse at an elementary  school and I am looking forward to dressing up for Halloween this year. Last year I dressed up as a firefighter and the kid's loved it. 

This year I want to be a witch, I found this really great hat...

Now where can I find a really great dress and broom?

A Texas Longhorn Quilt

I have put together this beautiful Texas Longhorn Quilt for a friend of my son. He and his brother grew up with my boy's. He contacted me and asked me to make a quilt for a special person in his life. She had made an Auburn University quilt for him and he decided that he wanted her to have a special quilt of her own.

I put together a scrappy quilt that uses a variety of Texas fabrics. I blended the fabrics with black fabrics and then bordered the quilt with cowboy boots. I hope it wasn't to corny that I included Cowboy boots. The fabric blended so well with the colors in the quilt. 

It is probably difficult to tell but the quilting on the top is footballs and goal posts. For a football quilt I thought it was perfect.

The boot fabric was also used on the back of the quilt. 

I put the quilt in the mail first thing this morning, I can't wait to see how well the quilt goes over. What would your favorite quilt be? 

What is your football team... the next football quilt will be a Wisconsin Badger quilt. Blocks are completed and now they need to be assembled.
